About

Doctrine describes the fundamental principles by which military forces act in support of national objectives. It is a body of carefully developed, authoritative ideas that have been officially approved or codified, establishing a common frame of reference for solving military problems. To be an effective guide, the challenge for doctrine is to be simultaneously reflective of the past, applicable in the present, and forward-looking, all in equal measure. The United States Air Force (USAF) should anticipate future requirements and to what degree decision advantage, freedom of maneuver, and freedom of action are increasingly challenged. To deter, compete, and win across the competition continuum, Airmen must advance solutions that enable operations in highly contested environments.
